The Hackers golf tournament was meant for beginners who want to be golfers and members of Nxt Gen invited friends, family and business executives to play golf, have fun and network.

Captain of the Nxt Gent Group, Michael Darko, told Starr FM Sports exclusively that “the objective of the group is to provide platform for young businessmen in Ghana and globally who are passionate about golf.

“We are up to about 20 members and we have Nigerians here and we want to bring people from UK and the USA. We look forward to growing the numbers; we want to grow the membership of Achimota Golf Club and we want more young people to join the club.”

According to the captain, the proceeds from this year’s tournament will be donated to a charity home called Asaid Foundation in the Central Region.”
